shatter

So I recently hit a sale with Zoya and this is one of the colors I picked out. It is a warm gold toned polish as you can see below. It is called Richelle. I really like the color but it is a little sheer, I think I applied 3 coats for this look. I also picked up a bottle of opi shatter from the Katy Perry line. I had been patiently waiting for this one to come out. (ok not so patiently I called ulta at least 3 times waiting for it lol) I have read about it on many blogs and had to try it out for myself.

It only takes seconds to form the crackled look. I snapped this photo above just after applying it to my nail. It only takes one coat and instantly separates to create this look.

At first I love loved the look but then I realized it doesn't come out the same on each nail and it started to bother me. I like the look but it will not look the same on every nail so I probably won't wear it much. I think the effect can be altered by how much polish you put onto the nail and also how much pressure you apply with the brush. Either way it is a cool idea and a fun nail for a crazy day !

If you like this look or have tried it..tell me about it, I would love to hear from you!

Zebra Konadicure

Today I did a pink zebra nail. I used Sinful Colors Boom Boom and Konad black polish for the design. The zebra print can be found on Konad plate m57.

The full plate designs are my favorite because they come out perfect everytime and its really fun to convince people you painted the design yourself :)

Hope you like.. comment below!!

the evil black polish

I was in a stamping mood on Tuesday night. I wanted to get some more use out of my so6 plate from konad. I wasn't sure how it would look with black but I think the colors look good together. Started with a black base coat and stamped with china glaze in hi-tek. Hope you like !!

My pinky finger didn't get the whole design but I figured it would look just

as good with just the stripes.

The other design I used was also from plate s06. I used the same colors but a different black polish. It wasn't by choice but lets just say a glass bottle and ceramic tile do not mix, and I ended up with a huge black mess all over my living room ...well that was fun to clean up...NOT !!! lol

do re me fa so la te do ... music note nails !!!

I was a little skeptical to try this design but it ended up coming out alright and in turn gots lots of compliments at school today. It is a music print with notes and a keyboard. I also bought this new stuff from CND stickey-anchoring base coat. I wasn't sure if it would really work but after reading many reviews I gave in and bought it. I am so glad I did because it works great. It really sets the polish and I haven't had chipping in almost a week which is amazing for my nails. So if your looking for something to hold your polish, I would try and find this to add to your collection of polishes. For my nails I started with a basic white polish from Confetti in wedding white, then stamped with LA girl Flare in black, and finished with konads top coat. It was a little tricky lining up the keyboards and some of them came out a little crooked, but overall it wasn't too noticable so I just left them as is. Hope you love my new mani's and have a great weekend everyone!!
